Notes: The table shows the effects of the school reform on education. Each cell corresponds to a separate regression. We report the coefficient on the indicator variable for being born on or after September 1, 1957 (i.e., “Post”). The dependent variable mean in the bottom row is the weighted mean among those born in the 12 months before September 1, 1957. All regressions control for calendar month of birth. Additional controls include male, age in days and age squared dummies for ethnicity, and dummies for country of birth. Robust standard errors. N = 129,370 for “Stayed in school until 16” and N = 128,169 for all other outcomes.

*, **, and *** denote significance at the 10, 5 and 1 percent level.
